    Recently on a facebook group - someone shared their collection of Gibson Crimson Division display pieces. Needless to say - they are pretty fancy! I especially like the quilted maple purple SG with 3 gold pickups and tree of life inlay pattern with vine headstock

    A friend of mine owned those 4 LP Ultimas. He bought a couple of them from The Acoustic Room (Landon Dutson, another friend). He sold them to another friend that has a reverb shop called Paul Frehley's Guitarsenal in Lenexa, KS. It's a small world in the Crimson Custom realm.
    I've been trying to buy an SG like the purple one and Gibson makes it really difficult. The Acoustic Room is a top tier certified M2M dealer. Even he has a hard time getting these. The wait time is very long. Sometimes 2 years or more.

    The only thing I do not like about this guitar is the plastics. The toggle switch tip and the pickup rings would have to be switched out to gold, black or dark purple (that's if you can find dark purple) pieces. White doesn't go well with this guitar.

They remind me of the days I used to cut class in high school and peruse all the guitar shop windows on Music Row 48th Street, Manhattan, back in the late 80's. There was Sam Ash, Manny's Music, Rudy's, and my personal favorite, 48th Street Customs, where they had a window view right into the Luthier's Machine Shop. I watched Custom Shop ESP's being made right before my very eyes! It was a guitar players wonderland! Those were really cool guys. They let this broke kid play the George Lynch Kamikaze & the Superstrats they made. Awesome times!

    Yikes. SG’s like this have lost the plot. The thing that makes SG’s cool is they’re all business, no fuss no muss. As soon as Gibson makes them all frilly with flamed/quilt maple and bling out the wazoo they just turn “meh” for me.

    those necks looked they were made in China or by a Chinese imported for the purpose. Not American designs.

    That purple SG is ugly to me. The red joint is nice.
